Washing machine on credit, is it convenient?

You need a new washing machine, but a new washing machine is an expensive investment. What do you do now? Many people choose to lease a washing machine, after all, then you don’t have to make a whole investment. But is leasing a washing machine really wise, or are there better alternatives? We’ll tell you in this article.

How does installment buying work? 

When you buy on credit, you pay the purchase price of a product over a long period of time. As a result, you don’t have to pay the whole amount right away. This is beneficial for many people, as they may not have the whole amount available to pay for the washing machine at once. 

What’s the catch?

When buying a washing machine on installment, you often pay higher costs than the original price of the washing machine. This is because you pay for any administration fees when you pay in installments. Another disadvantage which is perhaps also the biggest disadvantage is that you make a long-term financial commitment. If you buy a washing machine on installments, you are stuck with this and cannot just stop paying a sum of money every month.

Good alternative: rent your washing machine! 

A good alternative to buying a washing machine on credit is renting a washing machine. In fact, renting a washing machine has many advantages, below we list some of them:

Maintenance

Imagine, for instance, that your washing machine breaks down or needs servicing. Then it costs a huge amount of money to have a mechanic come by, with renting a washing machine you don’t have this problem because the rental company does the maintenance of the washing machine for you!

Low cost

Renting a washing machine is often cheaper than buying one on credit. For example, you can rent a good washing machine from as little as €9.99 per month. The biggest advantage of this is that you can stop renting after a few years at no cost and rent a new washing machine that is more durable. This way, you save not only on the cost of the washing machine, but also on electricity costs.

Flexibility

With renting a washing machine, you are not stuck with anything. Suppose you no longer need the washing machine after your term, you can have it collected free of charge and you are not stuck with a long term where you still have to keep paying.
